Last time I used a computer with 1GB RAM was in 2014, with 32-bit Windows XP. The computer had 512MB in use after startup and could only handle 2-3 tabs in the Chrome of the time, everything (e.g. Gmail at the time) seemed to use about 100MB.

So 2014 Chrome with webapps like 2014 Gmail wasn't really practical on 1GB. So I very much doubt that 2023 Chrome with 2023 webapps would be practical on 512MB RAM.
